Take Action: Child Care Teacher Shortage in Cabarrus County
23% - That's how much of the birth to five population in Cabarrus County is being served in child care slots; that's 3,823 children.
9,146 - That's how many slots child care facilities are licensed to serve in Cabarrus County.
Why are there 5,323 slots open?
Child care facilities are struggling to find qualifying staff and retain them while still keeping tuition affordable for families.
Stabilization Grants for child care facilities were put into place during the COVID-19 pandemic to help offset the costs of staying open to serve essential employees, however these stabilization grants are going to be ending in the not so distant future.
